HICE CULTURE IN SOCTII CAROLINA.
Interesting Statements in Regard to the
Present Crop.
[FBOJI OUB SPEOIAIJ COBBESPONDENT.]
: GEOBOETOWH, . September: :6.-The : number of
?rivera that interseot Georgetown District renders
it peculiarly adapted to the culture of rice. These
are all bold streams, and navigable for ? consi?
derable extent;- they all run through a .thickly
wooded country, and offer such facilities for. the
transportation of lumber that, since the close of
: the war, many mills have been erected at differ?
ent points. Besides'the saw mills in the vicinity
of Georgetown, there are several pounding mills
on the Sampit, Blaok, Pee Dee and Wacoamaw
Rivers. Many of these have been thoroughly re?
paired, and are now ready for the coming crop.
The Sampit and Black Rivers are not so rich in
their alluvial deposits as the others; the former
being comparatively a short stream, and not lia?
ble to freshets, while the waters of both aro
black, and the soil different from the stiff yellow
clay of the Santee and othor Southern rivers. The
area of rice land watered by the several rivers is
the richost in the State, and if properly cultiva?
ted, always ensures a large harvest.
Rice has not so many natural enemies as either
com or cotton, and -the dry weather does not
affect it BO much, as the fields can be flowed or
not at will. The greatest labor is the preparation
of the land. This requires great oare, as the
banks have to be strengthened, and trunks,
canals, ditches, &c, cleaned out. In former days,
under the old system of labor, this was a diffioult
job, but, under the present system, an almost im
poesiblo one. The' negroes work at it so unwil?
lingly and slovenly that tho ditches, &c, soon
choke up, and the land . cannot be drained as
thoroughly as is necessary. If some enterprising
Yank-or, ?tili better, a Southerner-would invent
a dredging maohine.that would be email enough
to dig out the ditches as well as tho canals, and
would bring it into the rico region, he could make
& fortune. - The plantations could be deaned by
oontracts, and the machine kept constantly in
use. The negro can no longer be depended upon,
and the time has nov oome when the South must
employ labor-saving machinery, or planting will
remain stationary.
A rice plantation, as before stated,, requires
constant care. Besides the field hands, a number
of officers, "so called," are employed;.there are
one or more foremen, trunk-minders, a carpenter,
and others. The foremen are generally old.dri?
vers, and if (as is rarely the case) thay are hon?
est they can manage the hands much better than
an overseer. They were^ formerly notedlfor their
ability in handling a whip, and forget themselves
occasionally now, and, presuming upon their posi?
tion, smite the offending darkey. .
Not long ago one of these foremen was showing
his employer the orop, when they dame aoross a.
bird-minder, stretched across the bank, andi
sleeping as only a negro can sleep. The foreman I
orept up and saluted the sleeper with sundry ap?
plications cf a heavy switch, which? was such an
unusual procedure that the astonished Atrioan
awoke, and seeing the switch in the act of de?
scending, gave one flounder and pitched into the
canal.
The foremen generally assume religion with their
other duties, and BO manage to oontrol their flocks
both temporally and spiritually. Their religion is
nothing more than a cloak; it does not prevent them
from ouraing, and if they should happen to get
hold of a bottle, the ardor and length of their em?
brace proves them to be Arm believers in dose
communion (with spirits). A good-foreman takes
as much interest in the crop as the planten;, ho
takes great delight in showing a stranger around,
and invariably calls for his opinion of. the crop as
compared with some other, &o.
' There are few plantations that ora not ready for
the harvest, and the negroes ara now busy in
draining the fields, and preparing for it by strip?
ping the volunteer rice. This last is a groat nui?
sance. It is caused by seeds that are dropped
and remain in the ground all the winton; They
generate more rapidly than the-, regular seed, and
grow more luxuriantly, but the grain is- not per?
fect, and a mere touch will shake it from the stem.
If this was not stripped, it would injure the Bale
of the rice by deteriorating the quality..
The ripe rice is too hard now for the birds, and
those places that have no later stands are secure
from these pests. These birds are so bad when
the rice is first shooting, that regular rations of
powder, shot and caps, are issued, and an indis?
criminate warfare waged against them. As the
crops ripen the stealing commences, and the ne?
groes are frequently oaught coming from the
Heida with baskets of rice which they haye stolen.
These cases are always referred to the Provost
Marshal, who punishes them by finos, imprison?
ment, or forfeiture of their crops. The negroes
themselves think it a great disgrace to be caught,
and the often der is promptly turned out of
church,, auft not reinstated until his reformation
is signal. This degradation is very cutting to
their sensitive minds, and they oiten ask their
masters to intercede for them, and cause them to
be re-admitted into the holy brotherhood.
The p'iantationu in this section are quite old,
many or them having been planted one hundred
years a-go. The dwelling houses ftTe built in the
old-time style, wainscoated and ceiled, and were,
many of them, built before the Revolution. At
Mr. Reriat's plaoo on the Sampit, the marks aro
still visible on the banisters, which the British
cut with their swords. These places did not suffer
much during the late war, and the principal de?
struction waB caused by the negroes during the
absence of the proprietors. The buildings on a
well;conducted plantation are numerond, com?
prising barns, mills, stables, outhouses, an over
aeer's house, &o. The negro houses are built in a
Btreet, with a small garden attached to each cabin.
This street is kept clean, and is generally covered
with a close grass. Many of the larger places
have a church in the street: and before the war a
white minister was regularly employed to preach
to the slaves; now one of their own color ie substi?
tuted, and services, class meetings, &c, regularly
held.
No white person resides on the rice plantations
during the aiohly season; but there are so many
summer retreats within a short distance, that the
planter can visit his place every day and return.
Each river has some Bummer settlement in the
pino landa contiguous to tho plantations; these,
though but a short distance from the fields, are
perfectly healthy, and, beyond an occasional shake
and a little fever, sickness is unknown.
A great nuisance has boen the presonco on the
rivers of trading boats; these come from George?
town and Oharleston, and trade with the negroes
for the stolen provisions. The planters bore with
the imposition for a long time, but at length ro
; presented the case to the United States authori?
ties, who have taken prompt action on the matter.
Stringent orders were published in tho George?
town Timep, prohibiting these vessels to trade,
and allowing tbe watchman on the place to arrest
them by any means in his power. In addition to
this, the planters have come out with a card,
warning those characters to steer clear, or they
will bo damaged.
From statistics that have been carefully collect?
ed, and kindly furnished by Hon. B. H. Wilson
and Mr. Sidney S. Fraser, it appears that the rico
lauds of Georgetown and Charleston Districts are
as follows:

By the above statement it will bo seeiithat there
are in this District, including South Oanteo, 40,968
acres of rice land. Of this quantity only SO.ijOO
acres were planted previous to the war, producing
from 70,000 to 85,000 tierces, averaging GOO lbs.
There wore 14,401 acres planted this year, of wbfch
1451 havo been abandoned, leaving under cultiva?
tion 12,950 acres. The proceeds per acre cannot
exceed 22 bushels, which would make tl;ecrop for
1866 amount to 285,660 bushels, or 12,415 tierces,
averaging each tierce at 23 bushels of rough rice.
A little more than one-fourth of the rice land has I
been planted, and in consequence of thc failure of j
the negroes to work it properly, but little niore
than a half crop will be made on the land culti?
vated. It may be safely stated that tbe expecta?
tion of the planters is fully realized mot more
than a seventh of tho usual crop will b? made. If
all ol' our lauds are planted another yoar, it will
take within a fraction of one-half the rico made
for seed. If all of it is economically consumed as
food, it is insufficient to sustain life in one-half of
the freedmen in. the District.
The Upland crop is an utter failure, ind will not
turn out more than three bushels of horn to the
acre. WATOB.

TURNED UP AT LAST-Oar readerfup tho Nau

become of the hero of the followi? sketih, will
recognize the portrait as drawn bjono of the re?
porters at the "Jack Hamilton Convention."
When it is remembered that th* o?oern is mado
up of exactly t?at class of "coots,'no one will be
surprised that it has been a failure Tho reporter
says :
"When tho subjeot of negro!suffrage was
brought up yesterday, a storm arose, which
showed that the question is stillau open one.
Col. Charles E. Moss, the long-baiid, lank, cada?
verous-looking editor of the St.jLouis Press,
offered a resolution ins tr neting thtCommittee on
Resolutions to report to the Conviction a resolu?
tion favoring impartial and unonditional suf?
frage, regardless of race or coi. Col. Moss
supported his resolution with sing harangue,
repeating all the subtle argumats in favor of
suffrage, with which the publio ai familiar. He
made no new points whatever, bureiterated the
assertion that the safety of loyal an in the South
depended upon electing loyal ma to office, and
that this could only be done by te votes of the
negroes."
Thia "Gol," Moss was once th corporal or
something of dragoons, but at te West he as?
sumed the title of "colonel." Fr? a poor print?
er's runaway "devil" on Litchfild hill, he be?
came a one-horse lawyer at Wau*bury, and his
career in this section ended by hiibting "thrown
overthebar" at New Haven, foi appropriating
money belonging to a credulous lieut. He was
a flaming Democrat here, but is fcw, it seems, a
follower of Phillips and Gratz lown, and the
oditor of a very Eadical newepapr. That is tho
class of men who make up the bullof the "loyal"
Southerners, and ' who _ join the urthern Radi?

In the Radical Convention in Philadelphia on
Thursday last the following scenes' occurred,
which cannot fail to shock the moral sense of
every right-thinking man in the country :
Mr. Hamilton, of TexaB, read tho dispatch in
yesterday'a papers relating to the President's,
visit to the Northwest. On reading that part of
Mr. Seward's speech, and inquiring whether the
audience desired Mr. Johnson for King or Presi?
dent, loudcrie8 of "Nary one" were heard from all
parts of the Convention.
A Delegate.-No, sir ; we'd see Andy Johnson
365 degrees into hell, with Bill Seward and Mont?
gomery Blair on top of him, first.
Parson BROWNLOW gave utterance to these dis?
gusting remarks:
Some gentlemen, not through any unkind feel?
ing toward me, but through a mistaken apprecia?
tion of my motives, has said that we were afraid
of tho nogro-snffrago question ana sought to
dodge it. Why, I should feel disgraced now and
forever if I felt doubtful on nDy subject of na?
tional concern. I never was claimed on both sides
of any question, and never intend to be. While I am
satisded with what has been done, l am the advo?
cate of negro snffraqe and of' impartial .suffrage.
[Great applause, including "three cheeks for
Brownlow."] Iwouldsooner. be elected to any
j office under beaven by loyal negroes than by dis
[ loyal-white men. [Applause.]. I would sooner
associate in private life with a loyal negro than
a disloyal white man. I would sooner be buried
in a negro graveyard than in a rebel graveyard.
[ [Applause.] If 1 have after death to go eitlier to
he? or. to heaven, J ahall prefer ia go with loyal ne?
groes to hell than with traitors io heaven.
THROWOH CONNECTION.-We are pleased to learn
that the through passenger schedule from Colum?
bia to New York via Charlotte, Greensboro, Dan?

road now leave Columbia at 8 o'clock^ after the

Only twenty-threo hours from Columbia to Rich?

We are also pleased to learn that theOharlotte and

DIED, of congestion i of the brain, on, 25th August,.
IMd, in.hi??5th year, PHILIP FERDINAND MYER.
The King of T?rro? is appalling enoogh when be, in
the due coarse of nature, conquers in the final dissolu?
tion; bat when wloked.hande assist in that victory, the
apectaolo ie truly heart-rending.
The subject of this notice was a man of most vigor?
ous constitution, possessed of every attribute of health,
with every promise of a hale and happy old ase, till |
the Federal cavalry passed through hie country nome.
In the generosity of his nature, thinking no ill ot his.
fellow-man, he woe-led, under promise of proouring pro?
tection for a brother's household, to. go out at mid?
night to the enemy's oamp. But they only lured,him I
to his rom; for, with a fiendish]oruelty unparalleled, he |
was thrice hung, then left for dead, bis unmerciful tor?
turers having failed to extort the confession of conceal?
ed treasure.
Since-that awful night his manly frame had gradually
succumbed, lill his pain-wreckea lyBtem could no
lon/er resist tho inroad a of death.
The inhuman treatment he received was enough to
bum hatred into the bein, but no word of oondtrana- '
tlon ever escaped his lips. Often, while his many sym?
pathising friends have expressed their natuia-1 indigna?
tion when told this tal? of torture, he wpuld reprove j
themtoy saying "If the raising of my finger would pun?
ish tbeBe men, I would not do it. Let them live to re?
pent of their cruelties." Stich was tho benignant kcart I
Whose hushed affection we now so deeply mourn I Such J
is the forgiving spirit that now smiles upon us from on
high!
Alas I he has gone r The beloved husband, tho fond j
father, the true-hearted iiiend, the children's "Uncle
FBEDIE" has gone I Never again, amidst these fami?
liar scenes, will his Joy-biaming face, hts merry-heart?
ed eye, be seen. We shall miss that firm grafp of the I
hand, thu ti genuine laugh ot the soul I We who have
known him-and none knew bim but to love him-have
suffered an irreparrble loss. The gushing tears tell
how much our hearts appreciated him, whose only wish
was to love and to.be lovod His great heart was the foun?
tain of innumerable kindnesses. His face beamed
brlgheat white dispensing his goodness I Kindred and
friends hold sacred his name in their Inmost heart. His
enduring affection has thus indelibly fixed it there. To
the companion of his life human language can give no
comfort. Within her disconsolate heart God grant
there may spring up that Heavenly Light which will
console ?nd cheer her in this dire distress. And that
little one, who had a large place in a doting father's
heart, may the orphan's Protootor train up to honora?
ble nunkood. And may we all, wife, son, kindred, and
many friends, faithfully await that glad reunion on
"Heaven's Happy Shore." * NEPOS.
